Pick your exam

NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN — pick the one you're sitting.

RN for ADN and BSN graduates. PN for LPN and LVN candidates. Same Testavia platform — different question bank, different scope of practice.

Read this if you're choosing prep

Don't study for the RN exam if you're sitting the PN.

The NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN share the same NGN format and the same CAT engine. But they test different scopes of practice — and the Client Needs weights are different. The PN exam emphasizes coordinated care under RN/MD supervision, data collection, and reinforcing care plans. The RN exam emphasizes independent assessment, delegation, and care planning.

If you study with an RN-weighted bank, you'll over-prepare on delegation and care-plan authorship (RN scope) and under-prepare on the coordinated-care and data-collection items the PN exam actually weights heaviest. Our PN bank is weighted to the PN test plan, not borrowed from the RN one.

What's included

Everything you get, on both tracks.

The platform is identical across NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN — same CAT simulator, same NGN coverage, same authorship discipline, same mobile + web sync. Question bank and clinical scope differ; tooling does not.

  • 5,200+ NGN-aligned questions

    3,400 RN items and 1,800 PN items, every NGN item type (bowtie, matrix, cloze, trend, highlight, drag-drop, unfolding case-study cluster). Aligned to the April 2026 NCSBN test plan.

  • Unlimited CAT simulator

    Same adaptive algorithm shape as Pearson VUE's CAT, same interface, same pass-probability readout. Take it as many times as you want — each attempt re-randomises the pool.

  • 50 US-licensed nurse authors

    32 RN authors for RN content. 18 PN-experienced authors for PN content. Every question reviewed by a second clinician and an educator before publication.

  • Adaptive study planner

    Tell us your exam date and weekly hours. The planner lays out your prep, re-paces weekly as dashboard data lands, and flags when you are falling behind.

  • Flashcards + digital notebook

    Every question you miss becomes a spaced-repetition flashcard automatically. Highlight rationales into the notebook, search them on test-week prep — synced across devices.

  • Mobile + web, in sync

    Drill on your phone between shifts, review rationales on your laptop at night. iOS, Android, and web stay synced in real time — your progress is never on one device only.

NGN coverage

What's an NGN question?

The April 2026 NCLEX includes 7 distinct NGN formats — the same 7 on RN and PN. Each card below is a worked example with the correct answer marked and the rationale below. Examples mix RN and PN scope to show coverage on both tracks.

Extended multiple response380+ items · RN + PN

Cardiovascular · RN scope · Post-procedure

A client returns to the unit 6 hours after right-femoral cardiac catheterization. Which findings require immediate intervention? Select all that apply.

  • Cool, pale right foot with weak pedal pulse
  • Heart rate 78, regular
  • 3 cm expanding hematoma at insertion site
  • BP 110/72 mmHg
  • Numbness with decreased capillary refill

Rationale

Three findings signal vascular compromise or active bleeding after femoral catheterization — all require immediate response. HR 78 and BP 110/72 are within normal limits.

Cost of failing

What does a retake cost?

Failing NCLEX doesn't just cost the retake fee. It costs months of forfeited wages, a possible rescinded job offer, and a delayed bridge timeline. The math compounds — and it's nearly identical whether you're sitting RN or PN.

    NCLEX-RN

    Failed-attempt cost

    ~$5,800 + 90 days

    • $400 — NCSBN retake fee per attempt
    • 45–90 days — mandatory wait before re-sit
    • ~$5,400/mo — RN wages forfeited during the wait
    • Job-offer risk — some new-grad hires are contingent

    NCLEX-PN

    Failed-attempt cost

    ~$3,200 + 90 days

    • $400 — NCSBN retake fee per attempt
    • 45–90 days — mandatory wait before re-sit
    • ~$3,000/mo — LPN/LVN wages forfeited during the wait
    • Bridge delay — failed PN delays RN-bridge eligibility

Whichever your nursing program qualifies you for. ADN or BSN graduates sit the NCLEX-RN to license as a registered nurse. LPN or LVN program graduates sit the NCLEX-PN to license as a licensed practical/vocational nurse. You take one, not both.
